Makerspace and tech initiatives

My proposal is for a maker space for residents and citizens of Norwich who are looking to improve their tech skills and work in their field in tech. For example, there are no courses or workshops or training for tech in this town. There are people driving Uber, who complain that there is no funding for workshops. With the remote from home work available from companies, if you had skilled workers in this area, they could work remote from Norwich and bring in six or even seven figure incomes. I know because I work remote from home for Intel currently and have at microchip, Pearson, salesforce, The Department of Education in Arizona, Arizona State University and much much more. Frankly, you aren’t gonna get any people tech in this town for a few reasons… you don’t have much of a Tech community to start with. You don’t have a maker space or places for innovation and tech.

The crime that’s an issue. But frankly, you have the infrastructure. If you had skilled workers who knew Linux, embedded you might actually bring in some high value tech companies if you had high value assets with good skills. Create a maker and have someone techworthy running it and you will see a change in the economy eventually with the right people in place. Definitely not current leadership. My father had a speaker wire and speaker manufacturing company back in the 80s that was second to monster cable. With tech and innovation, we can create manufacturing and jobs as well. Give it a thought.
